Alkene Reactions Overview Cheat Sheet – Organic Chemistry

July 5, 2019 By Leah4sci 153 Comments


The true key to successful mastery of alkene reactions lies in practice practice practice. However, when you have a homework assignment, quiz,exam around the corner, it helps to have a reaction summary guide for quick reference. That's why I created this alkene reaction overview. This guide is designed to help you recognize alkene reaction products at a quick glance including key components such as syn/anti addition or Markovnikov/anit-Markovnikov products.

If you find this cheat sheet useful please click the share buttons above

Want to learn and understand these reactions in detail? See my Alkene Reactions Page for in-depth tutorials, videos and more. Already mastered the basics? Try my FREE Alkene Reactions Practice Quiz

See the detailed video explaining this cheat sheet linked on the bottom of this page. Alkene Reactions Cheat Sheet Leah4sci Organic Chemistry

18 Alkene Reaction Shortcuts in 15 Minutes

The video below is a walk-through of the above cheat sheet explaining the reaction tricks and shortcuts.

    Hi Leah! This is super helpful–one quick question. On the reactions where you’ve included a hydride shift, is it practical to worry about a methyl shift at all as well or is that something that would be unlikely to happen as it takes so much more to move a bulky methyl group as opposed to a hydrogen? Thanks!

    I’m doing a practice exam and your cheat sheet is awesome but what would I write to “specify the expected major organic product” when I solve the reactions. For a hydrogenation reaction I don’t see how there could be a minor(or if there is a minor)

    Reply
    • Leah4sci says

      April 4, 2016 at 5:33 pm

      Not every reaction will have a major/minor. Keep in mind that when you have a carbocation the Markovnikov product is considered the major. Not every professor will ask for the Anti-Markovnikov as the minor

          Good luck! Be sure to pause each video and try the problems that arise. Did you attempt the alkene quiz yet?

    You are AMAZING! I’m sure you’ve heard this before, but have you thought about becoming an orgo professor? Thank you so much for taking the time to create all of this! I have an exam this Friday that’s open notes and just printed some of yours to bring instead of mine because you broke the material down 100x better than what I attempted to do… At least it was good practice.

    For Hydroboration-oxidation, shouldn’t the OH and the H be face the same direction. I’ve watched other videos and that’s what it seems to be but here you have them in opposite directions.

    • Leah4sci says

      November 18, 2014 at 11:12 am

      You’re correct Mike, the OH and H add via syn-addition. When shown in line structure there is no 3-D so it doesn’t matter. If you want to specify direction use dashes and wedges.

    I really appreciate your you-tube videos that completely describe the reaction mechanisms for alkenes. I know it takes a lot of work and time, but I wanted to ask: When can we expect videos about the rest of the reactions? Especially the oxymercuration-demurcuration…

    Reply
    • Leah4sci says

      April 14, 2014 at 10:29 am

      Thank you for the kind words about my videos. As for the remaining mechanisms I don’t know if/when I’ll post them. I focused on the main reactions that require simple mechanisms and then moved on to another series that students were asking for at the time
